Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for securing distributed shares of an electronic wallet. An example method includes provisioning a plurality of devices each hosting an e-wallet share with enhanced privacy identification (EPID) private keys for the e-wallet share. A signature is posted for the e-wallet share to a blockchain. A determination is made as to whether the e-wallet share is compromised, and, if so, posting a revocation list comprising the signature for the e-wallet share to a blockchain.

Abstract: A method for treating a disease in a subject in need thereof is provided involving infusing 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) and a phosphor-containing drug activator into a diseased site in the subject; and delivering a dose of x-rays to the subject for production of the ultraviolet and visible light inside the subject to activate the photoactivatable drug and induce a persistent therapeutic response, the dose including a pulsed sequence of x-rays delivering from 0.5-2 Gy to the tumor, wherein the phosphor-containing drug activator includes an admixture of two or more phosphors capable of emitting ultraviolet and visible light upon interaction with x-rays; the two or more phosphors including Zn2SiO4:Mn2+ and (3Ca3(PO4)2Ca(F, Cl)2:Sb3+, Mn2+) at a ratio (Zn2SiO4:Mn2+):(3Ca3(PO4)2Ca(F, Cl)2:Sb3+, Mn2+)) of from 1:10 to 10:1; wherein each of the two or more phosphors have at least one coating selected from an ethyl cellulose coating or a diamond-like carbon coating.

Abstract: The Internet can be configured to provide communications to a large number of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. Devices can be designed to address the need for network layers, from central servers, through gateways, down to edge devices, to grow unhindered, to discover and make accessible connected resources, and to support the ability to hide and compartmentalize connected resources. Network protocols can be part of the fabric supporting human accessible services that operate regardless of location, time, or space. Innovations can include service delivery and associated infrastructure, such as hardware and software. Services may be provided in accordance with specified Quality of Service (QoS) terms. The use of IoT devices and networks can be included in a heterogeneous network of connectivity including wired and wireless technologies.
